On recent Linux, it should be possible to fake the read case using
posix_fadvise and pread (the interesting property is reordering among
multiple reads). For the write case, pwrite can be used directly
because there's no implied ordering constraint.
(It's unlikely that the savings due to reduced syscall overhead are
actually relevant on Linux.)
